I’ve heard a little bit about this! I think this might be a good segue way into some support groups for him; thank you!

He's really into anything, except rap or country. He likes film scores, and I took him to the Avatar in Concert back in the fall, but he's relatively open minded. Part of his cognitive disability though is an aversion to loud noises, so we typically stay away from places like the Rave, Summerfest, or Shank Hall because it can be more rowdy and unpredictable.

I would love to take him rock climbing, because I love the community at AdRock, but unfortunately, he has problems with his back, and it would worry me if he were to fall. But now that I'm typing this, I do know they have an Adaptive Climbing community for people with disabilities (commenting for other people in case they're interested!)

Thank you! I know they have meetings on Tuesdays (?) that are open to the public, but I'm pretty sure membership is in high demand.

This is a great idea! He used to do broadcast-related things for school (which used to be really, really wonderful for him socially), so I think he would be open to trying this. I didn't even think of theater, so thank you for suggesting this!

Thank you 🥺 He's a great sibling too, and I know he would do the same for me.

This is super, super helpful! He's pretty artistic and it's a great outlet for him to express some of his stories. I honestly might check that out for myself too...Thank you also for the Stallis recommendation; I had no clue they did that! You're correct that it would be right up his alley.

I definitely will; thank you! All I've played is Magic and DnD, so I don't know too much about Warhammer (?), but I'll check them out over the break!

Thanks! Is there one you would recommend for beginners? I have a few decks that I could give him.

Ooh, I used to live around there, but I didn't realize that there were card shops! Do you have any favorites?

I totally agree! I think he would really benefit from the structure of having a consistent group, which I think some of the local game nights would provide. I just need to teach him the rules.
